Tire Rack has a 18x9 +45 Moda R10 for $99 on close out.

It has the rim listed twice so call to see if there is a difference between them or if there is a mistake.

Also, with +45 you will probably need a 10mm spacer front and 5mm rear on an E36.  On an E46 you might get by with just 5mm front.

Also, they are heavy rims.  I thought my 2 piece Borbet 18x9's were heavy but I think these are about 5 lbs more at 36.6lbs.

I hear ya' but I'm buying a set of 17x8's for my street car and they weigh 17.4lbs each.  That's almost 20lbs lighter than those...

I sold my last set of 17s because they weighed about 24lbs each and they make my car feel like it was wearing lead shoes.  Not good on an E30...

not bad looking, but I agree about the lead weight comment...

Wow... I've never heard of a wheel over 26 lbs, but then again I am always looking for lightweight wheels...

I bet that are some 20" wheels out there that weigh less than 36 lbs!
